Student Libertarian candidate supports 'meaningful change'

Although most people who understand Libertarian philosophy consider it radical, it is an inevitable part of the future, a KU law student and candidate for the 46th District seat in the Kansas House said yesterday.
"There are reasons a KU student should vote for me," the candidate, Pat Goodwin, said. "The Republicans and Democrats represent such a narrow district." They have not provided and will not provide real, meaningful change.
"By voting for a Libertarian, it is an effective way of waving to disapprove of a party."
GOODWIN, 24, will face Republican Doug Lamborn and incumbent Democrat Betty Jo Charlton in the Nov. 2 general election.
A Libertarian for six years, Goodwin said he had no "delusions of grandeur" about winning the race but said his efforts were worth the chance he had to educate people with his personalement about Libertarian philosophy.
THE LIBERTARIAN party platform advocates a government stripped of controls that interfere with individual freedom, Goodwin said. It opposes laws against prostitution, homosexuality, and possession of drugs and gambling.
In the ideal Libertarian state, taxes are eliminated to the bare minimum, with welfare programs and education voluntarily subsidized by people able to afford them. The institutions favor privately funded educational institutions and scholarship programs.
THEIR PRINCIPLES, based on the idea that man is ultimately good and generous, are not overly optimistic, Goodwin said.
"In the Libertarian party people are
recognized as individuals." Goodwin said. "The government is preventing people from exercising responsibilities. It is not responsible and must be coerced."
The transition from publicly funded education to private institutions would work gradually through a tax credit program, including bidding private school tuition, he said.
WITH THAT inentive, private institutions will spring up across Kansas, he said, culminating in a decline in attendance at state universities.
"People who saw KU as their only choice will now be induced to enroll in another competitive institution," Goodwin said. "I'm attending KU because the government has effectively educated us on affordable education anywhere else."
In line with his party's platform, Goodwin also said he supported a community-based corrections program in the imposition of all "victimless" crime laws.
Goodwin said he would oppose the severance tax, or any other tax, and would vote against a capital punishment bill.
"I REALIZE our government is set up to function in a conservative manner; change comes slowly," Goodwin said. "But I'm no less a believer in the Libertarian principle and would work to that ultimate end.
"I could never support a piece of legislation that increased state power on water."
"The Republican party has such a poor record on civil liberties. Democrats are interested only in finding new sources of tax revenue. They work to patch up what they have created rather than changing the underlying struc-

WHY DO "THE INNOCENT PEOPLE LEFT BEIND... SUFFER?"
Last Easter Sunday Thelmata Strraak, a striker 71-year-old pianist at the Leeds Baptist Church in Kansas City, was knocked down by two purse-nurseas as she approached the church door. Mine. Strraak, whose heart was regulated by a pacemaker, died minutes later from a coronary attack. Three of the four youths arrested later that day were picked out of a police lineup by witnesses. However, last Wednesday charges were dismissed against three of the four suspects although the fourth was charged with first-degree murder. Police officers in the suspects' home town described the accused and the oldest friend who "troubled teenagers who had fallen through the cracks of a juvenile justice system that failed to keep them off the streets."
The combined failure of our justice system to rehabilitate or "keep (criminals) . . . off the streets" and our political system to recognize that, in the words of Lester Thurston, "unemployment is associated with an increase in mortality rates, suicides, homicides, alcoholism and admissions to both state mental hospitals and prisons" has resulted in more violence and crime. Every time the government apposes some of the entrepreneurial set by categorizing some inherently worthless or injurious activity as work, it helps create a society in which profits are more important than people.
William James said: "The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually teaching our characters in the wrong way."
After discovering that the Jackson County juvenile court had dropped charges against three of the four suspects, Thelma Striaker's niece, lika Turlari, articulated a trumor that many still refuse to recognize: "The system breaks down and it's the innocent people left behind who suffer."

nuclear weapons and the Wolf Creek power plant.
- SELECTED, Goodwin said, a priority would be to push the Kansas Legislature for a strong statement on gun violence and the Jacobson power and weapons in the state.
"It's a classic case of federal control," Goodwin said. "If elected I would rally my constituency for repeal of the Price-Anderson Act. I don't think Wolf Creek would go on-line if those taxes were fully liable if there is an accident."
The Price-Anderson Act shields companies operating nuclear power plants because it sets a low liability for the risk involved when a disaster occurs, Goodwin said.

Externals are eight weeks of unpaid labor, 40 hours a week, during which students gain practical experien- tive in medical eyes of professional pharmacists.
"Each pharmacist who works in the store contributes to their training," said William Beeler, head pharmacist at Round Corner Drugs, 801 Massachusetts St. "It's a team effort to help students learn all aspects of it."
Hiebert and Army Uhik, Lawrence senior, had Uhik his husband attend their classes and bring them necessary provisions for the night.

The students camped out all night to be first in line to sign up for externships for the 1983-84 academic year.
A slumber party on the second floor of Malott Hall Monday night brought together 11 pharmacy students with a doctor — getting an extermity in Lawrence.
The hallway was filled with sleeping bags, pillows and air mattresses. The group huddled together to study for a course in Organic Medicinal Agents class.
"He brought up the wrong toothbrush for her, too," Hiebert said.
PLACEMENT is a first-come, first-served basis, Hilchock coak. Extenuating circumstances, such as marriage and lack of transportation, are considered before a student is placed, he said.
The students in Malot were waiting to hand in sheets indicating their preferences of location, because those externships could be in any of 50 pharmacies from Kansas City, Kan. to Garden City, said Tom Hitchock, assistant to the dean of pharmacy practice.
"We try to place the students in their preferred areas," he said. "If a student doesn't have a car, we try to place him where other people are commuting to the same geographic location."
Of the 50 pharmacies, 25 are within a 50-mile radius of campus, and three of them are in Lawrence, he said.

"If you want to drive to KC every day, fine," Slytter said. "I can't afford to pay rent someplace else and here, too, either."
Pharmacy students also listed whether they wanted to work in full-line, prescription or hospital pharmacies.
OF THE 75 students placed yearly, one or two usually express dissatisfaction about their locations. Hitchcock said. However, most of the time, students adjust to the situations or trade with others, he said.
A year ago, two students spent the night waiting to be first to hand in their preference sheets, he said, but this year was exceptional.
"I feel terribly bad about it, but I don't know what to do," Hitchcock said.
